A woman attending the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee has been found dead. Attendees camping at the event say that they found their friend dead at her campsite yesterday; Bonnaroo medical personal were on the scene within minutes and pronounced her dead at the scene; the sheriff's office was notified around 11pm. The woman has been identified as 32-years-old from Pittsburgh, but her name is being withheld until relatives are informed of her death. The high temperature in Manchester where Bonnaroo is staged was 91 degrees yesterday. The Hollywood Reporter notes that she is the 9th person to die at the fest.

This happens at Bonnaroo every year. I wonder if there has ever been a death-free festival since its inception? This is a wonderful event - simply wonderful. It is known world-wide and it is so professionally and well done by the festival officials. But, will the festival ATTENDEES ever learn? 1.) Hydrate 2.) Stay off the drugs 3.) Hydrate The people in charge of the festival can't do everything. There is a point at which personal responsibility has to come into play.

I was debating going to Bonnaroo... this will go nicely in my arsenal of "that festival is way too effin' hot."
